The weapon is a Winchester '94. The same manual that would apply to a Winchester '94 will work for a Sears 100. Incidentally, it's a post-1964 weapon & was made in Japan. The steel of the receiver won't take a re-blue. It turns funny colors--green, purple, etc. TexasCharley The post-64 Winchester Model 94 rifles, including the store brand variants, were made by USRAC in New Haven CT. Since the closing of that factory it remains to be seen where, if at all, production resumes. The receiver CAN be blued, but it requires a special salt mixture that runs at lower heat - available from DuLite. sales@countrygunsmith.net
The Ted Williams 200 shotgun was manufactured by Winchester and was the same gun as their Model 1200.
That was the Sears house brand, and basically a "knock off" of the Winchester Model 94 lever action rifle, made for Sears by Winchester. i.e. the Sears Ted Williams Model 100, was in reality a re-badged Winchester Model 94, and was manufactured in USA by Winchester. So it is of high quality, just lacks the Winchester logo If you're smart and shop around, you can basically get that Model 100 for a fraction of the Winchester version, and have the same darn gun for less money.
Manufactured by Winchester for Sears. Value in typical used condition is around $100. sales@countrygunsmith.net
William, I bought my Ted Williams 200 from Sears in 1972 or 1973. I remember that they had a "sale" on them and I bought mine for around $125. It still works great! ! Ed
Ted Williams 12 gauge shotguns were manufactured by Sears Roebuck. In good condition, they sell online for around 200 dollars, but some dealers will take customer's best offers if asked.
Should be a bolt action Savage/Stevens. Value around $100-$125 in excellent condition. sales@countrygunsmith.net
I bought this 22 around 1966 and am interested in knowing what it would be worth and a little bit of history on it
Winchester made it - don't know the value or age I saw another answer that said a model 100 ser # V88XXX was made in 1964 if that helps Winchester DID make it, but it is not the same as the Winchester Model 100. The Ted Williams Model 100 was a post-64 Winchester Model 94 as made for Sears. Today's value if in excellent condition would be around $200-$225. Badly worn guns would be $100 or less. sales@countrygunsmith.net
The JC Higgins 583.24 is a bolt-action shotgun made by High Standard for Sears in 1954/1955. It should have an adjustable choke. Value on bolt-action shotguns is minimal, around $100-$125.
Wow!!! How so envious I am. I have no idea what that might be "worth" as far as auction value. I have an original Hillerich and Bradsby Louisville Slugger bat signed in blue sharpie (Green Diamond authenticated) by the Splendid Splinter himself, and that's worth around $2,000 give or take. Man, being a huge Red Sox/Ted Williams fan, AND a huge Winchester fan, that would be a crown jewel nominee for my collection!!! Congrats on such an awesome piece. There was no Ted Williams commermorative model 94 although Sears did sell a line of Ted Williams marked guns in the 50's and 60's, made by Winchester or Marlin, depending on who gave Sears the best deal. The Sears marked Winchesters tend to have a lower value than the Winchester marked equivalents. If you have a rifle that is signed by Ted Williams then the above answer stands. There are Ted Williams collectors out there who would pay whatever the market bears for the piece. The value is not established and strictly negotiable.
Sears trade name is strike one. Bolt action is strike two. Value will start around $25 and may go as high as $100 if it is like new.
The value of a Sears Roebuck 12-gauge 101.100A shotgun is around $100. This depends on the the condition of the firearm.
